And he's 78.

He already ran afoul of former President Macri by revealing some of those who took advantage of the 2016 tax 'whitewash' (the deal was: pay a 5% tax, and you're clear).

The very name of his journal (Moon Rocket) comes from one of Macri's rants, in which he reportedly wished he could "send people like Verbitsky (among others) up in a moon rocket!"

They reportedly got him fired from his newspaper - but he's a tough cookie.

I hope he is somewhere safe. Makes one wonder how close the US comes to similar offshore amounts. Frustratedlady Jun 2020 #2
